Why don't I deserve the same respect?

You do sound quite judgemental, though.

How do they sound judgemental?

Well, you sound like a barrel of laughs.

Yes, after Freshers' Week it should get less noisy. If the problem persists, you could try to find alternative accommodation to somewhere more quiet (like a quieter block or on another floor)? Or invest in a decent pair of earplugs?

I'm a fresher at uni, which comes with the stereotype of going out getting wasted every night. But this isn't me. I am in my jammies at 8pm watching Netflix with a cup of tea. I hate late nights. At home I'm asleep by 10pm and I'm up and awake by 7am every morning.

I want this to carry on at uni, but others in my accommodation are of course going out getting drunk and coming home at 3am. That's completely fine they want to go out and have a good time. That's their idea of a good time, but that is my idea of a terrible time.

I'm on the ground floor and the smoking area is right outside my window. They go out and smoke and the windows are so crap I can hear every word of the conversation. I sent them a message at midnight the other day asking them to move somewhere else or talk a bit quieter because the windows don't keep noise out. I could hear them read out my message to each other after I sent it. They ignored it.

They come back drunk and screaming and shouting at 3am waking more than just me up. I've asked them to be a bit quieter when coming back. They've ignored me.

And tonight, they're having pre-drinks in the floor above me. I've asked them to not play music too loud to which they replied "the speaker is banging" and "don't knock it until you've tried it". They asked me to join them and I said it isn't my thing.

If I went around accommodation shouting at 7am they would want me to be quiet, so why doesn't it work the other way around? I understand that not everyone is a morning person, so why can't they understand that not everyone is a night owl? I prefer getting a good night's sleep and having a productive day instead of sleeping all day and partying all night. There is nothing wrong with that.

We have 24 hour security available and I can call or text them if my neighbours are being too loud and I will probably have to do this tonight to make them stop.

I don't want there to be tension, I just want to have a mutual respect for them. I'm quiet in the mornings. I shut my doors quietly so they don't bang (they're fire doors so have to be heavy and they slam loudly every time). Why can't they respect that I'm different to them?

I know that calling security will cause more issues, but I'd rather have security stop the noise so I can sleep than make me stay awake for hours. On the first night of freshers I was kept awake for 3 hours as they chatted, listened to music, screamed and shouted most of the night.

What happened to mutual respect? Each to their own? I'm not going to feel pressured into drinking loads, destroying my liver and failing my course just because it's "cool".
